Detailed Description

#include <math.h>

This header file declares basic mathematics constants and functions.

Notes:
  • In order to access the functions declared herein, it is usually also required to additionally link against the library libm.a. See also the related FAQ entry.
  • Math functions do not raise exceptions and do not change the errno variable. Therefore the majority of them are declared with const attribute, for better optimization by GCC.

Function Documentation

double acos ( double  __x)

The acos() function computes the principal value of the arc cosine of __x. The returned value is in the range [0, pi] radians. A domain error occurs for arguments not in the range [-1, +1].

double asin ( double  __x)

The asin() function computes the principal value of the arc sine of __x. The returned value is in the range [-pi/2, pi/2] radians. A domain error occurs for arguments not in the range [-1, +1].

double atan ( double  __x)

The atan() function computes the principal value of the arc tangent of __x. The returned value is in the range [-pi/2, pi/2] radians.

double atan2 ( double  __y,
double  __x 
)

The atan2() function computes the principal value of the arc tangent of __y / __x, using the signs of both arguments to determine the quadrant of the return value. The returned value is in the range [-pi, +pi] radians.

double cbrt ( double  __x)

The cbrt() function returns the cube root of __x.

double ceil ( double  __x)

The ceil() function returns the smallest integral value greater than or equal to __x, expressed as a floating-point number.

static double copysign ( double  __x,
double  __y 
)
static

The copysign() function returns __x but with the sign of __y. They work even if __x or __y are NaN or zero.

double cos ( double  __x)

The cos() function returns the cosine of __x, measured in radians.

double cosh ( double  __x)

The cosh() function returns the hyperbolic cosine of __x.

double exp ( double  __x)

The exp() function returns the exponential value of __x.

double fabs ( double  __x)

The fabs() function computes the absolute value of a floating-point number __x.

double fdim ( double  __x,
double  __y 
)

The fdim() function returns max(__x - __y, 0). If __x or __y or both are NaN, NaN is returned.

double floor ( double  __x)

The floor() function returns the largest integral value less than or equal to __x, expressed as a floating-point number.

double fma ( double  __x,
double  __y,
double  __z 
)

The fma() function performs floating-point multiply-add. This is the operation (__x * __y) + __z, but the intermediate result is not rounded to the destination type. This can sometimes improve the precision of a calculation.

double fmax ( double  __x,
double  __y 
)

The fmax() function returns the greater of the two values __x and __y. If an argument is NaN, the other argument is returned. If both arguments are NaN, NaN is returned.

double fmin ( double  __x,
double  __y 
)

The fmin() function returns the lesser of the two values __x and __y. If an argument is NaN, the other argument is returned. If both arguments are NaN, NaN is returned.

double fmod ( double  __x,
double  __y 
)

The function fmod() returns the floating-point remainder of __x / __y.

double frexp ( double  __x,
int *  __pexp 
)

The frexp() function breaks a floating-point number into a normalized fraction and an integral power of 2. It stores the integer in the int object pointed to by __pexp.

If __x is a normal float point number, the frexp() function returns the value v, such that v has a magnitude in the interval [1/2, 1) or zero, and __x equals v times 2 raised to the power __pexp. If __x is zero, both parts of the result are zero. If __x is not a finite number, the frexp() returns __x as is and stores 0 by __pexp.

Note
This implementation permits a zero pointer as a directive to skip a storing the exponent.
double hypot ( double  __x,
double  __y 
)

The hypot() function returns sqrt(__x*__x + __y*__y). This is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of length __x and __y, or the distance of the point (__x, __y) from the origin. Using this function instead of the direct formula is wise, since the error is much smaller. No underflow with small __x and __y. No overflow if result is in range.

static int isfinite ( double  __x)
static

The isfinite() function returns a nonzero value if __x is finite: not plus or minus infinity, and not NaN.

int isinf ( double  __x)

The function isinf() returns 1 if the argument __x is positive infinity, -1 if __x is negative infinity, and 0 otherwise.

Note
The GCC 4.3 can replace this function with inline code that returns the 1 value for both infinities (gcc bug #35509).
int isnan ( double  __x)

The function isnan() returns 1 if the argument __x represents a "not-a-number" (NaN) object, otherwise 0.

double ldexp ( double  __x,
int  __exp 
)

The ldexp() function multiplies a floating-point number by an integral power of 2. It returns the value of __x times 2 raised to the power __exp.

double log ( double  __x)

The log() function returns the natural logarithm of argument __x.

double log10 ( double  __x)

The log10() function returns the logarithm of argument __x to base 10.

long lrint ( double  __x)

The lrint() function rounds __x to the nearest integer, rounding the halfway cases to the even integer direction. (That is both 1.5 and 2.5 values are rounded to 2). This function is similar to rint() function, but it differs in type of return value and in that an overflow is possible.

Returns
The rounded long integer value. If __x is not a finite number or an overflow was, this realization returns the LONG_MIN value (0x80000000).
long lround ( double  __x)

The lround() function rounds __x to the nearest integer, but rounds halfway cases away from zero (instead of to the nearest even integer). This function is similar to round() function, but it differs in type of return value and in that an overflow is possible.

Returns
The rounded long integer value. If __x is not a finite number or an overflow was, this realization returns the LONG_MIN value (0x80000000).
double modf ( double  __x,
double *  __iptr 
)

The modf() function breaks the argument __x into integral and fractional parts, each of which has the same sign as the argument. It stores the integral part as a double in the object pointed to by __iptr.

The modf() function returns the signed fractional part of __x.

Note
This implementation skips writing by zero pointer. However, the GCC 4.3 can replace this function with inline code that does not permit to use NULL address for the avoiding of storing.
float modff ( float  __x,
float *  __iptr 
)

The alias for modf().

double pow ( double  __x,
double  __y 
)

The function pow() returns the value of __x to the exponent __y.

double round ( double  __x)

The round() function rounds __x to the nearest integer, but rounds halfway cases away from zero (instead of to the nearest even integer). Overflow is impossible.

Returns
The rounded value. If __x is an integral or infinite, __x itself is returned. If __x is NaN, then NaN is returned.
int signbit ( double  __x)

The signbit() function returns a nonzero value if the value of __x has its sign bit set. This is not the same as `__x < 0.0', because IEEE 754 floating point allows zero to be signed. The comparison `-0.0 < 0.0' is false, but `signbit (-0.0)' will return a nonzero value.

double sin ( double  __x)

The sin() function returns the sine of __x, measured in radians.

double sinh ( double  __x)

The sinh() function returns the hyperbolic sine of __x.

double sqrt ( double  __x)

The sqrt() function returns the non-negative square root of __x.

double square ( double  __x)

The function square() returns __x * __x.

Note
This function does not belong to the C standard definition.
double tan ( double  __x)

The tan() function returns the tangent of __x, measured in radians.

double tanh ( double  __x)

The tanh() function returns the hyperbolic tangent of __x.

double trunc ( double  __x)

The trunc() function rounds __x to the nearest integer not larger in absolute value.
